New Delhi, Sept. 16 -- British actor Shazad Latif has spoken warmly about his experience working with veteran Indian actress Shabana Azmi in the 2022 romantic‑comedy 'What's Love Got To Do With It?', directed by Shekhar Kapur.

In a recent, exclusive interview with Mint, Latif recalled telling his cousin about being cast alongside Azmi, and how moved she was.

The actor said, "I told my cousin that I was working with Shabana and she cried because that's who she grew up watching. It was that big of a deal. It was like working with Meryl Streep. To have her play my mother was a huge thing. My favourite scene in the film is with her and where I was trying to connect with my mother. And I am so grateful it happened."
